The IMAGE modelling framework has been developed by the [[Colophon|IMAGE team]] under the authority of [http://www.pbl.nl/en PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency]. IMAGE is documented on this website (including updates) and in the [http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/integrated-assessment-of-global-environmental-change-with-IMAGE-3.0 IMAGE 3.0 book]. In 2014, IMAGE has been reviewed by an international advisory board ([http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/international-review-of-image-30 International review of IMAGE3.0]). The development strategy for the period 2015-2020 is elaborated in the [http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/image-strategy-document-2015-2020 IMAGE strategy document].

IMAGE is an ecological-environmental model framework that simulates the environmental consequences of human activities worldwide. It represents interactions between society, the biosphere and the climate system to assess sustainability issues such as climate change, biodiversity and human well-being. The objective of the IMAGE model (version {{#show:IMAGEversion |?HasCurrentVersion}}, released in 2014) is to explore the long-term dynamics and impacts of global changes that result from interacting socio-economic and environmental factors.
